Geography 8, the half course which is to be given during the second half year by Professor Emile F. Gautier of the University of Algiers, the French Exchange Professor, will deal with the geography or northern Africa and the Near East. It will be a historical as well as a geographical course, however; Professor Gautier will consider the customs and types of people living in this region, and will go on to a stuly of what the European Powers have done with it and are doing with it. The course will be open both to graduate students and undergraduates and will be given in English.

Professor Gautier, who is well known in France for his technical works on geography as well as for his popular articles on the subject arrived in Cambridge last week. He will also give a research course in the subject primarily for graduate students, entitled Geography 20b.
